Hi Jon
I use my Baader 8-24 zoom more than any other of my ep's (by far)
Try to get a mkIII or mkIV , both are very good, optically they are the same but the newer mkIV is a more compact version of the older mkIII
You can pick up a good mkIII for about £110

Celestron CGEM-DX/CGE Pro Tripod 2.75inch-Dia Stainless legs Only-£199
Moved my CGEM-DX onto a pier so the massif 3inch legged tripod is for sale, good condition with spreader-bar and tray.
As a quick sale on here I only want £199 which I feel is a bargain (Pickup HINDLEY) note this weighs over 20KG

WANTED 50mm Right-Angled Finderscope
Ideally something like the item below, needs to be right-angled! as my straight through 50mm finderscope is useless when my guide scope is in place.
Let me know if you have one to sell.
Thx Paul

To True.
I changed my C925 crappy finder for the celeston 50mm RACI angled finder last year, but it won't fit my TV-101 or my SW scopes, so needed a SW type one.
Luckily I bought the one above off Derek, and all is good as it came today and this afternoon I painted it back to all black.
Defo a must buy IMHO, saves viewing at silly angles that's for sure.

WOW! That's ugly.
Whats the rusty nail-head looking thing on the diagonal ? I'm hoping its just something on the cloth.
Not quite what I was expecting, but if you say the optics are good and all is as it should be > I would offer £25 posted. (bank transfer)
Thx Paul

Hope its correct & helps, as its only £7.90 post free.
I've bought a few from there all sizes all under £10, all have been good quality with good threads.

Hi Philip
Best thing to do is get back to me if you find your measurements and can use this item.
As for price? i haven't put a price on it, if it turns out you do need it > then please feel free to make me an offer.
Thx Paul

Hi
Not fully sure what it is you are after? but I do have a like-new Meade Japan A1 skylight filter, this has Male SCT thread on one end and Female SCT thread on the other.
Its roughly 23mm in height, Male side thread travel is about 10mm, Female side thread travel is 8mm.
